OEM+ Strut bar Retrofit (parts for G22)

Installed pics Below https://g42.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...66&postcount=4

Saw this post buried in the g20 forum. Thought I'd bring it over here. Thanks soi3847

Pretty much all the parts from the G22 he listed below. New G22 front brace that's pre tapped, he taps the rear strut and buys the braces. You could go even cheaper and just add (assuming based on other kits out there on bolt size) the strut bars with out the front brace it's just untapped so you need a nylon nut.
Two M8 x 60mm bolts
Two M8 x 25mm bolts
Four M8 Nylon Nuts
Four-Eight M8 washers

If you don't want to jack up the car you could probably do the Two 8 x 25mm bolts with nylon nuts on the front brace and then Tap the rear strut with the m10 x 1.5" making it easier to access the air box without jacking.



"All G20 has not Strut Brace Bar.
But, G22 has Strut Brace Bar.
Strut Brace Bar connect to left, right suspension mount and front bar.

-Need Tools-
Hexagon Socket 13mm, 16mm

(G20 Body has not screw hole for Brace)"
